UN set to withdraw peacekeepers from East Timor
UN peacekeepers are on track to leave East Timor by the year's end, but the international community will remain engaged in one of the world's youngest nations through other channels.
Finn Reske-Nielsen, head of the UN Integrated Mission in Timor-Leste, told the Security Council that the tiny Asian state still faces many challenges but that a peacekeeping mission is no longer the best way to address them.
